its kinda of funny you guys are posting all these pics of flatbeds with boxes, i actually had that in mind when i posted...im going to buy a underbody box for each side 14" tall/24" inches long and incorporate the sides to flow into the boxes.

I think this is the most functional and cleanest looking one I have come across...
